In a peculiar turn of events, the Maryland Legislature convened in special session last Saturday, passing a slew of laws that, while beneficial to the state, failed to address a pressing issue: crime. Governor Lane’s four-point program, which included a $300,000 emergency welfare appropriation, was approved without much fanfare. But what about the real concerns of the people? The Legislature’s priorities seemed skewed, as they focused on bills such as the $500,000,000 school bond bill and the $350,000 bond bill for the Maryland School for the Blind. The search and seizure law amendment was also passed, but it’s unclear how this will impact the war on crime in the state. The session was called primarily to repass the school construction loan law, which had been invalidated by the Court of Appeals due to a technical error. As the people of Maryland continue to suffer from the scourge of crime, one can’t help but wonder if the Legislature is truly doing its job.
